World as the set of manifold phenomena or changing bodies, where human is one of them. Universal cycle of human’s action - cognition, consideration, behaviour. Spirit as information and processing of information as the basis of human’s spiritual activity. World of thoughts as ordered set of coded observed phenomena. * Part 2 - FUNDAMENTALS of SYSTEMS THEORY. Main concepts and relationships, scientific research of systems - factology and causality. Concepts of space, time and interaction as universal basis for establishing fact - cause relationships. Typical structures of systems (mind maps
